Thinking about getting this hard drive

It's basically a hard drive with a 6 gb (i think) ssd inside it that's used for cache. The thing's faster than a velociraptor in everyday situations [utube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuWdruZev8I[/utube]


the price is cheap at $130

so does the SDD part of it act like cache?
I hate seagate, i've had 3 of their HDDs die on me.

yep, it has adaptive memory tech. which basically is how cache works. Just checks which files are constantly read/write and puts them on the ssd

Did you pursue warranty service and did Seagate replace them? I've had both WD and Seagate but I've never had any issues with each. Currently have WD in my PC.

You using that as you primary harddrive? or just a media drive?

Not that its a big deal but if its your primary, can you let me know what the windows index is (if you have windows 7) My computer should be up to a 7.8 or so but since i have a mechanical hdd is maxed out at 5.9

i don't have the drive, if i did have it then it would definitely be a primary hdd for boot times and app launches
